Nayakan - Box Office Collection

Nayakan received glowing reviews from critics and was hailed as one of the greatest films in Tamil cinema. It received many awards and was India's official submission for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 1988 at the 60th Academy Awards. The film released alongside Rajinikanth's Manithan. Despite Manithan acheiving more box office success than Nayakan, Kamal's film still managed to become a great success.

Note - The movie had a dubbed Telugu version but its box office numbers are unknown.
